We’re excited to be able to giveaway 1 pair of these Warby Parker X Ghostly International sunglasses to the ISO50 readers. All you need to do is list off an album from 2015 that has soundtracked your summer in the comment section below. We’ll pick a winner next Wednesday. Enjoy your weekend!

Ghostly’s latest collaboration with Warby Parker features the beautifully minimal Henning frames. The desire with Henning was to showcase quality, character and resilience without being distracting. Crafted from premium matte acetate, and Japanese titanium the Henning boasts a one-of-a-kind cutout-keyhole bridge and wraparound temples. Each purchase comes with a lens cloth designed by Matthew Shlian, and a Warby Parker carrying case.

Lenses:

– Made from polycarbonate, the most impact-resistant material on the market
Offer 100% UV protection
– Anti-scratch coating and anti-reflective coating included
Frames:

– Made from cellulose acetate cut from a single sheet to maintain colorparity
Temple arms made of lightweight ion-plated titanium
– Akulon-coated screws for durability

For those of you that are on Spotify there’s a lovely 25 song playlist featuring everyone from J Dilla to The Sea And Cake to Lone, head over here to check it out.

For me, Crazy P’s Walk Dance Talk Sing was the album of the summer. Many cookouts were had with this album playing in the background resulting in a bunch of people asking “What are we listening to? It’s awesome!”.

Dear ISO50,
lots of great albums have been released so far this year, but nothing has been better than listening to ocean waves at the beach. The sounds of seawaves crashing filled me with calmness and a sense of belongingness.
That’s why i give the title “summer soundtrack of 2015” to [i]Mediterranean Sea – Infinite Crashing Waves[/i]. ｡^‿^｡ Everybody should listen to it once in a while.
Unfortunately I was pinching my eyes too hard while looking out at the sea, The sun seems more powerful at the beach. Could hardly read this blog! Do you have ANY idea what could help to block out the rays?

Judging by my last.fm account it’s Currents by Tame Impala. But I’m yet to find out do i love or hate that one. I guess I’m still waiting an album that would blew me away this year. Oh yeah, new Neon Indian is great, but it’s only yesterday I first heard it. So that would actually be my late summer pick :D

For me, one particular album spoke to me – I only found out about this one because there was a remix EP scheduled featuring Telephones, Young Marco, & Max D. Recorded in the 80’s and sounds super fresh now.

While most Hip-Hop has such a heavy Yang vibe, Future, even when he is sounding his most braggadocio, has a melancholic, sensitive, Yin’ish nature. At times the lyrics can be cringey but he, along with his crew, make amazing music, which he sings, talks and raps too. Check out Blood on the Money, The Percocet and Stripper Joints, and Trap Niggas for dark, melodic songs that you can’t get out of your head.

Ducktails – The Flower Lane. Actually had a chance to go see these guys live, and it was incredible to see how down to earth and hard working they are. They had so much passion about what they were doing, and everyone was so into the moment when they were performing. I had a chance to say hi to Matt and when I mentioned that his stuff is incredible, he was super humble about it and thanked me for coming to support him. Definitely awesome to know that there’s good people behind the mic making the music we love to listen to.

Great collection of Australian psych put together by Amorphous Androgynous and released for Record Store Day this year. Introduced me to lots of new and old stuff I’ve never come across before, and has made a good companion for the slightly damp English summer we’ve had!

I’ve been jamming to the Sidewalk Chalk album “Shoulder Season” Gotta give it up for Rico Sisney. Love his brand of activism. Great flow too. Add in a tap dancer that performs at live shows and you’ve got some real magic.
